Mission Viejo, California – Officials have identified the man accused of dumping a puppy in Mission Viejo in the early morning hours of April 10. According to city officials, the man who left the puppy in “coyote country” has been identified as the pup’s owner – however, officials have not publicly released the man’s name and he was not arrested.
The 10-week-old puppy, dubbed Magnolia, is doing well despite the traumatic incident.
On Instagram, Mission Viejo Animal Services Director Brynn Lavison condemned abandoning pets:
“There are always options. If someone is unable to care for a pet in our jurisdiction, we strongly encourage them to reach out prior to taking drastic measures such as abandoning a pet.”
Though abandoning a pet is illegal, it is unclear if Magnolia’s prior owner will actually face charges. The puppy will be made available for adoption soon.

Of course he wasn’t arrested! When are these garbage humans ever arrested? Less than 1% of the time. He will get a “warning” so he can do it again next time.
The individual guilty of dumping this innocent puppy to fend for himself deserves to be locked up. He knew what could happen to this pup when he did that. There is no excuse for it and he needs to be held accountable for his cruelty.
So what Mission Viejo, California official is covering for this crime? Why doesn’t the public have access to what should be public information on crimes and criminals in their area. He knows someone important, that sucks
That’s what it sounds like. If these losers don’t want to do their jobs, then they should quit or be fired. I am sick to death of slaps on the wrist and downright not even charging people with these crimes.
YOU FUCKING LET.H
HIM OFF THD HOOK, ARE YOU FUCKING INSANE!! ARE YOU PUSSIES THAT YOU CANT DO YOUR GODDAMN JOB??? YOUR ALL ASSHOLES, REALLY!! YOU ARE WORTHLESS POS’ES! 😡😡😡🤬🤬🤬🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕
SHOULD BE MADE ACCOUNTABLE THOUGH FOR HIS ACTIONS….CERTAINLY VERY UPSETTING AND DISTRESSING FOR THIS POOR INNOCENT PUP…
IT IS A CRIME SO HE MUST PAY SOME ENCUMBERANCE FOR HIS ACTIONS!!
Why would he not be arrested? It is illegal to abandon an animal!! He needs arrested and charged for the abandonment!!

This, this is the problem. No one knows if he will face any consequences for the crime, a literal crime, that he is obvisously guilty of and admits committing. This kind of abuse doesn’t stop when we rubber stamp it, ignore it or do anything that does not hold the abuser accountable. He’ll just do this again, I mean, why not? He’s not in trouble for doing it this time, may have done something like this before since he thinks it’s okay to do now and will certainly do it again because he’s not being held accountable. This crap has to stop, both the abuse and the lack of consequences. or it will go on forever.
